    Are the event log ACLs being changed from their initial states? If so, it
    sounds like you need to identify the process that's responsible for the
    change. If not, could it be that the user context is changing? What does
    WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent return when the exception is thrown? Is this the
    expected user context, and is it the same as when event log entries are
    successfully written?
